Mrs Lasse:

I remember Mr Lasse back in the mid 1950's when he was a security officer at Mountain Grove Cemetery ,Bpt. My dad was in charge of the crematory and I used to ride my bike over to see him and I recall how nice your husband was to me. I was all of ,perhaps, 10 years old at the time and I can still recall how Mr Lasse used to knock on the door of the crematory to check on Dad and see if he was all right. He never barged in but always rapped loudly as dad was hard of hearing,and then they always had a conversation of sorts.
Your husband was such a gentleman and a lovely individual,and I am sad to hear of his passing.

Sincerely Yours,
faith D. van Louvender

Betty, We were honored to represent our Dad as pallbearers for Lou. A man is said to be a success if he can reflect upon his life and count at least one true friend. Lou and Pete were both successful because they had each other as friends. Young people today would call it BFF (Best Friends Forever)but I doubt they really grasp the meaning. We pray for God's grace to help you through the days and months ahead. I'm sure Pete and Lou are doing introductions and by the time they sit down for the banquet we will be coming thru the gate and there will be only tears of joy. I have fond memories of your visits to South Carolina. We love you, please know you can depend on us for anything you need that we can do for you. Bob (Milford, CT) & Joe Robinson (Honea Path, SC).

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
